Effective Natural Treatments for Genital Herpes Relief

I am commenting on the discussion about herpes and artificial sweeteners from the following link: https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/herpes.html

I noticed I was getting more herpes outbreaks, and I suspected it was due to having slim fast shakes for breakfast. Just out of curiosity, I typed in "Slim Fast Herpes Outbreak" into Google and came across this discussion, where someone else mentioned they had a Slim Fast diet bar and immediately had an outbreak. I'm assuming the two are somehow related.

From the research I have done, the best herbal treatments for Genital Herpes is L-Lysine and Red Marine Algae. I also spray my groin area with Hydrogen Peroxide each night before I go to bed, and again in the morning when I wake up (about 20 mins or so before taking a shower). My doctor wants me on suppressive therapy (i.e., 500MG Valtrex per day), but I don't like the way it makes me feel, so I only take the Valtrex during outbreaks (2grams initially, and then 500MG twice daily until symptoms are gone) along with putting extra-strength Gold Bond Medicated Powder (Green Bottle) and Zovarax cream on the area during outbreaks, while spraying with hydrogen peroxide twice daily.

I've heard the following is also good for Herpes outbreaks: CoQ10, Echinachea, Pau D'Arco/Taheebo, Omega 3, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, Zinc, Garlic, Cat's Claw, Lecithin, Organic Geranium, Lipoic Acid, Lemonbalm/Melissa Leaves, Tea Tree Oil, Multivitamins, and Orange Juice, but I can't verify any of that.

Do *NOT* use petroleum jelly, cortisone creams, or antibiotic ointments as they will make the outbreak worse or last longer.

***AVOID*** eating Gelatin, Chocolate, Carob, Oats, Whole Wheat, White Flour, Soubeans, and Wheat Germ.

Stress is the number one predictor of an outbreak, so get plenty of rest and exercise to minimize outbreaks.

Eat flounder. Here is how: Prepare without seasonings, after it is cooked, then u can season if u wish. I just squeeze fresh lemon or lime and eat weekly. It worked for this man and it is working for me. Change your diet and u will never have OB again. It stops it in its track Avoid chicken soups. I no longer live in fear. In the meantime I am working on curing it by using other things. Read my post. If u can't afford flounder. Use cod, tilapia or catfish. I try to use flounder since this is what worked for this man.

Avoid Chocolate, Peanuts and keep stress levels low! and you'll be just fine! Good Luck!

I can totally back this up. Tea tree oil is great for herpes, wherever it may be. Apply it as soon as you feel an outbreak coming.

It definitely works but apply it as early as possible, then there is a chance the blisters will be avoided at all.. When you are late and the blisters are already there, try to rub the oil as deep as possible, even try some slight scratching, so oil enters deeper - I let it burn a bit down, then you get the best results..

Lemon is high in acid no? Also ACV is high in acid but ppl say it works. Im confused.

Both lemon and ACV are acidic in nature but have an alkalizing effect when absorbed into the body. I eat lemon all the time (and take it w/ baking soda) and ALWAYS my pH level increases right after.

At 40 I starting using Saw Palmetto for BPH, benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement of the prostate) to control the life altering affects of not being able to urinate and feeling like you have to pee all the time. I have had genital herpes since 1983 or so. I had stress related outbreaks 1-2 times a month for 2o years. healing time about a week. I noticed, how could I not notice that I have had only 1 very small fast heeling (1day) painfree outbreak in 18 months. I take 450 mg once a day in the morning. I also have oral herpes, oh that is embarrassing to say the least. About six months ago I started using an online product from healing natural oils. www. amoils. com I would also get stress related outbreaks on my lips about once a month, with 1-2 weeks to heal. I rub the oil under my feet twice a day. I would always get an out break after being outside all day. Now I have a high stress outbreak about every 6 months, it does not turn into a blister and heals in 24 hours. No unsightly sores to embarrass me in public. I never get an outbreak after being outdoors or camping. I used saw palmetto a year before using the oil, so I know that the saw palmetto worked for me. Hope someone finds this helpful.

re: Genital Herpes on Face. Greetings! I have had'only a couple of outbreaks in the last 25 years but right now I have a very painful one on my lip as bad as my first one! Daily, I take two doses of lysine (2 500 mg. capsules each time). In the morning I take _____'s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, with lemon juice from our Meyer lemon tree and sweeten with 100% Pure Maple Syrup Grade B because germs and possibly viruses (?) do not live in pure maple syrup! I would not ever use baking soda in any form because it is harmful for the body and has something to do with aluminum. However, for the last few weeks I used a good form of honey because we were too busy to drive to where we purchase the maple syrup. (Trader Joe's) I also used to take a cool form of cayenne capsule that I will go back to doing. I really want to destroy this virus once and for all! However, maybe the only thing we can do is keep it at bay and I mainly have for the last quarter century. I hope that this helps!

Do your research on oil of orgegano and olive leaf extract, oil of oregano actually is the only thing in the world that can cure the herpes virus!

I neglected to mention that the process via which it kills bad guys is oxidation and the byproduct of that oxidizing death of the bad guys is elemental oxygen. Hence, "stabilized oxygen". As stabilized oxygen, it is bound to the sodium from which it is released, upon the oxidation of the bad guy.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm suffering from my first outbreak, and the past few days have been so stressful. The physcial aspect of it isn't so bad, but the emotional has been really hard for me. What you said helped more than any pill or remedy I could take.

Bitter Melon for genital herpes. I used get the outbreaks every month for many years. One would finish and then a within a week it would be back. I went a few years like this. I then started working near a Chinese food court and quite often would eat bitter melon there. Thinking back that's about the same time my outbreaks started to decrease and came only 2 or 3 times a year. After getting on the net and doing some research about herpes I stumbled upon bitter melon as a weapon against herpes. Put 2 and 2 together. Must be something to it and I would say it's worth it to add it to your list of healthy "foods with benefits" list. Last but not least it's not called bitter melon for nothing. An acquired taste and can be bought in tea form too.

Mountain rose herbs has the actual bitter melon, just google the name and it will pop up. I get all my stuff there.

yesterday my penis was so very swollen. i use a combination of iodine to stop the itch and Prunella Vulgaris is a herb which is availible anywhere in the world. its very cheap in singapore only $1/ for 100 grams. i boil it and drink it every 4 hours and also apply it on my penis. 1 day later the swell is gone the itch almost gone and the boils gone no break-up of painfull wounds. i also took 2 pills of grape seed extract and neem extract. i belieive that the iodine and Prunella Vulgaris is the most effective to fight the herpes viurs. ipdine will burn about 2 minutes so apply a little by little on small areas. this will work a wonder.wish you best. i am trying other herps and keep you posted.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

I took 3 tablespoons a day of coconut oil for over a month - since I hate coconut, I quit.

I saw great results when I applied coconut oil on the lesions - they would heal quickly, in less than 3 days. Sadly it didn't last long and by my third outbreak, the coconut oil had no effect on the lesions.

I eat coconut oil every day and gag each time I swallow it because it's hard to swallow oil but you can use it in your cooking, put it in a smoothy.... There are so many other ways to ingest it other than eating it straight from the spoon. Coconut oil has so many other healing properties.... Helps with metabolism, insulin, digestion... I use it on my skin and in my hair. You have to make sure you by the unrefined pure organic virgin coconut oil otherwise it won't work. :)

This soooooo helped me!!!!

This worked the very first time out for me so maybe it will give someone else relief too. FYI....This will be a little long because genital herpes has ruled my life for so long so I've got a lot to tell. First I'll tell you what didn't work, Bach flower therapy, I tried it for six months, no, Choraphor was good when the lesions are active but for me, I experience a lot of discomfort before the actual outbreak so I hated waiting for a lesion to weep before doing anything about it. Then the pain applying to the lesion was too much in addtion to the price. Red Marine Algae, no, spirulina, no Lysine rich diet, no..monolaurin and lysine supplements, I think they are good in reducing the severity of colds and flu but not reducing the severity of genital herpes. I haven't had sugar in about a year, I don't wear binding clothes, I stopped chewing gum with aspartame....Everything I've used or tried, didn't seem to work. I was still getting outbreaks bi-monthly. (I'm not sure why, it may have to do with hormonal changes, I always get one right before my period and now I'm catching on, when I'm ovulating). As you can see, has been a quest. The only thing I didn't try was BHT. I had heard horror stories about it. However, I was so frustrated I finally purchased it and was only on my second day of taking it AND getting over a very bad outbreak of three lesions, when I felt another one was on its way. The pain in my leg was so great I knew it was going to be a doozy too. I immediately took 700 mgs of BHT as soon as I got home that day and took 700 mgs more in the morning and the evening for 2 days straight. Once I felt the lesion raising up, I also applied it topically. I broke open about 6 capsules of it and melted it in olive oil. I used a cotton ball to swab it on down there. What I liked about it was that it wasn't painful like Choraphor. I applied it topically for 2 days as well. After day 2 into day 3, all I had was the tiniest bump which I swabbed again. This is the fourth day, and while I still feel 'remnants' of the pain there are no active lesions at all. I know this doesn't mean I'm not contagious but at least I'm not suffering from the pain and discomfort. I'm going to buy the powdered version so that I won't have use my capsules again. Meanwhile, I read up on BHT and found that St. John's Wort can be used in conjunction with it to make it more effective. Since I've had outbreaks twice a month for almost 20 years I need all the help I can get. For now this is the regimin: 350 mg of BHT, one a day St John's Wort, and two to three shots of apple cider vinegar a day. I'm also taking Stress B Complex, Vitamin C, Multi-Vitamin and Calcium. I still have lysine and monolaurin left but I don't know if I'll continue taking it since it didn't help too much before. I just may take the minimum required of both lysine and monolaurin because as I said before it seemed to reduce the severity of colds and flu. For outbreaks, I'll up the dosage to 700 mg of BHT twice daily, and swabbed the infected areas with it melted in olive oil. Thanks to the anonymous person that posted it here, it really worked this time around, I'll keep you all posted. Maybe I'll have even more good news in a few months.

I have had herpes for several years and finally found an ointment that really helps with itching and heals lesions in a couple of days. It's call Lemon Balm for Wise Ways. I apply it with a q-tip to each lesion or with a cotton ball and the itching will automatically go away and stops the pain. I also use Olive Leaf Extract in capusle form and found this to work very well and L-lysine capsules as well. I am now going to try to use the APV directly and internally.

I just started BHT thank you for your story, my experience the same.. how is it now many years later?

Black Tea is a remedy to drink against hsv, also, placing a tea tea bag on the sores, truly desperate do both (the tea bag should be luke warm for placing on sore leave for a good bit & do time & again throughout the day-also, place tea or tea bag in a plastic in freezer and do the treatment-works! It is an antioxidant naturally & the Tannin acid makes it unbearable for the virus! Hope this helps anyone-I know that this ailment is a sentence in hell for me for the past 14 years! I would not wish it upon my worse enemy trust me.

I have a few questions for you. Please email at your leisure. Thanks

Pepto Bismol cures a cold sore outbreak. apply as soon as the tingling sensation begins.

I am curious if you were able to test negative, if so, would you mind sharing what you did? thanks

Just because you haven't had an outbreak doesn't mean you are cured. I think you are misleading people by saying that. The only way to be cured is to get a test back for HSV which is negative! However, it is great feedback none the less.

A cure lies in understanding the behavior of the virus....questions like why even a strong immune system cannot prevent the virus from multiplying ...is it deceptive or clear in medical terms..? the million dollar answer to this lies in a drug that could act on your nervous system(nerves) than drugs that rather simply help in stimulating and strengthening ur immune systems. There are a million factors that could trigger an outbreak and i believe a single drug or condition can prevent the outbreak for a long time.

I just like to thank you for your postings on this website. I tried a patented brand of colloidal silver that I tried for colds stomach problems ETC and it worked wonderfully. And then combined that with olive LEAF extract with high amounts of oleuropein and its been 5 count them 5 months since a outbreak. the only effect at first with this certain brand of colloidal silver is after taking it i had flu like symptoms for about 3 days. The company told me that was common in some people because its the sudden killing of the germs and pathogens in your body but after a build up of the 2 in my body I have not had another symptom so in closing i still take it every day just in case and i'd like to say thank you and god bless you have my email anybody can ask me anything I would be glad to help have a blessed day.

God created man with all its potentials to free it's self from all type of terrible disease. you might notice in my english i'm not so good in writing. but what i know in my brain is better than writing. just want to let those who've been suffering from genital herps know that the cure is in you and it's not up to MONEY LEVEL. it's just simple the UT. urine therapy. I've been suffering from this genital herps which i thought at one time to be untreatable for a good number of years. if i want to list out the different types of pharmaceutical intoxication drugs that i've spent my money in buying, then i need to open a website to contain all. right up to this great day when i read about Urine therapy and genital herps. i started it immediately and 4 days later the size became like a dot. every time i wanted to urinate, i simple urinate in a clean glass, then pour it on the herps that took me no franc but my determination to get rid of it. i've been doing this now for almost 2 yrs regarding the symptoms but the herps disappeared and never show any sign of returning again.

Hi. Can you tell me exactly where to buy this and can you tell me your sucess story? jaymot(at)gmail.com.

Thanks! Jay

I have mad lots of research on Herpes HSV2. I have tried L-Lysine, Immune Boosters, Red Marine Algae, Olive Leaf, and a few other supplements. The only results I got was not getting sick. Or if I did get sick I was over it within 24HRS. Then I ran into several articles that stated viruses can not live or can not thrive in a alkaline environment. It made since to me because bacteria and parasites thrive in acidic environments. So I order Coral Calcium and some PH test trips. Before taking the Coral Calcium I tested my Urine on daily biases and frequently and I found out that my body was slightly acidic all the time. So I started taking the Coral Calcium and I got into a Alkaline Diet. As the days went by I started to notice that every time I tested my PH level with the PH trips that my body started to become more and more alkaline. And as of today my body is 95% of the time Alkaline and I have been out break free for two weeks so far. Compared to having an out break just about every week. I also noticed that drinking excessive alcoholic beverages would bring down my PH level very quickly and would allow me to get an outbreak. If you have any questions or comments please dont hesitate to e-mail me.

What brand type of iodine did you buy??

Do u continue to take the iodine at same dose for rest of your life?

Hi there, I'm glad you've finally found a solution to this horrible virus, how do you take the iodine? I thought it just absorbed through the skin? and can you recommend an effective one that you can buy online? Kind regards Adam.

Hello. I have a couple of questions. Did you happen to experience any "die off" symptoms during this process? Which brand/kind of magnesium did you use? Did you continue to have outbreaks during this process?
Thank you

Looking for help curing Herpes virus 2. Been using colloidal silver 500ppm. For 6 months, 1 tsp every day like directions on bottle say. It's not working. Was told the lower the ppm, the more effective it would be. Do you know of any truth to this? Or what I can do to cure Hsv2? I'm desperate. Please help

its your Colloidal silver of an amber tone?

I actually tested negative for HSV after 8 months. HOWEVER, it came back. The reason it came back is that I stopped this protocol and didn't finish it for another 6 months, which is what you should do. But I did test negative for HSV 2. Follow this protocol for a YEAR and you will be free I believe.

I am actually getting on the Synergy protocol now. I did Hekma protocol and a bunch of other ones.

I tried EVERYTHING for 4 years and spend $15,000 USD trying to get a negative test and nothing worked. I tried:

-DIV Ozone for 6 months 3 times a week
-35% hydrogen peroxide for 5 months-more than 3 times
-Oregano Oil with a raw diet for 6 months
-I did SIXTEEN 10 passes in Colombia and here in the states

NOTHING WORKED!!!

I never gave up UNTIL ONE DAY I discovered nosode therapy.

I saw my symptoms drop almost immediately and stayed on it, then tested negative after an 8 month protocol.

You HAVE to stay on this for a year. The virus can come back.

Here's why:
When you take an IGM test, you get a reading of under .90 and that just means the virus is no longer a threat to your body. It means you aren't having any more outbreaks.
You need to stay on it and keep crushing it down to close to zero.
This is going to take you 8 months, maybe for some more, maybe for some less.

Here are a couple of rules I would say follow: Do not stop the protocol, If you miss a dose, keep going. Breakouts are good. That means the virus is leaving your body. See rule number one. Do not stop. Keep your body alkaline if you can. I think if I were to have taken alkaline drops, and lysine multiple times daily, I would have tested negative faster.

Here is what I did:

Reply to Jordan, are you still negative and herpes free?

I am not. I stopped this protocol. I do believe in it though. It's the only thing that I have seen work for me. I should have stayed on it another 6 months. I am not too sure about Synergy as lots of people have told me it didn't work for them. Their numbers did go down with Synergy though. One friend said his numbers went down but he stopped taking it after 6 months because he thought 6 months was the magical number of months. There are no magical number of months. You go until it becomes routine and you forget about it being a timed thing.

Did you try hypericum mysorense? did that worked too? where can I get all of these thinks im in severe need I need to get rid of herpes asap can u please guide it easily how and where to get all of this amazon does not ship in my country pakistan

Biogetica.com is where I got mine!

Lecithin will stop a herpes breakout and, if taken regularly, prevent a breakout. I tried everything and lecithin is the only thing that works. It has been years since I have had an outbreak. Lecithin is also cheap. My granddaughter takes it and no longer has psoriasis.

There are a few old posts here on earthclinic you could read or you could just buy a bottle do the happy dance. Lol

Hi, could you recommend a brand that I can buy online? And does this work on hsv2? Regards Adam.

Magnesium citrate can make u constipated. It's not safe for long term.

Been taking a quality magnesium citrate supplement. 400 mg every night. Hasn't stopped the occasional outbreaks. Curious as to if anyone has tried magnesium l-threonate? Or hearing thoughts on it. Supposedly it's the most effective magnesium for crossing the blood brain barrier. Since the virus hides in the spine I was hoping maybe adding magnesium threonate to my nighttime dose would be more effective. I searched the internet about magnesium threonate as related to herpes but there's not much information about it concerning the virus. Thoughts questions comments would be appreciated from the community. If I have any success I will come back and post.

Magnesium Citrate for which strain of HSV? How long have you had it? What was your IgG index score prior to using Magnesium Citrate?

No shedding? How did you measure that?
As you posted your comment nearly a year ago, what has been your latest IgG score?

I've used a minimum of 400mg of Magnesium Citrate everyday in my line up of supplements the entire length of time I've had HSV-2 to no effect on my outbreaks. Magnesium Citrate is a calming mineral. It affects one's bowels as an aid to relieve constipation.

Hello. Is it the sunflower lecithin I need to take?

Hi Suzanne, did you have hsv2 or cold sores?

Hi do you take soy lecithin? Or sunflower lecithin? As I've been taking the sunflower lecithin for a week now and still have symptoms. regards Andy

Hi do you take soy lecithin or sunflower lecithin? as I've heard the soy comes with a lot of bad side effects. regards Andy

Is it still working?

Hey there did u ever get an outbreak again? I get it every single day im so tired are u sure anyone u know or have seem that this supplement worked for them did they get cured? im so curious

Hey Suzanne, Great post! Would you say 2 a day is enough or 3 caps 3x a day to start, like previously mentioned? Thanks!!!

Did you take a blood test?

Fascinating. What dosage and what type of tincture? Alcohol based or pure extract?

Can u tell me if u boiled the entire lemon along with the peel for the lemon water?

So I have slacked off big time on my regular lemon water regimen. And a huge outbreak popped up. I've been dealing with it for a month. This morning I started back drinking one and a half liters of lemon water a day. The DMSO and coconut oil help keep the sores from turning into blisters. But the sores would not go away. I started drinking lots of lemon water again at 9 a.m. this morning and it is now 4:30 p.m. The itching and burning has finally gone way down. So it seems the key to prevention is mostly the lemon water. I will still use the DMSO and coconut oil. I'm going to start adding in lecithin. But this is really and truly the dream combo for me. I wish everyone good luck!

Final Update: I just decided to stop everything except lemon water. I went from drinking a warm cup of lemon water in the morning to drinking a whole squeezed lemon in 1.5 liters of water and drinking it throughout the day. The month long flare that would go away went away in 2 days. Drink it with a straw so the acid from the lemons don't damage your teeth. Also drink more water with electrolytes during the day because I've heard too much le.on water can dehydrate you if you don't drink anything else with it. All I needed was to drink more lemon water and drink it through the day. So it looks like all I need is a whe lemon squeezed in 1.5 liters and drink that every day. I understand some may not be able to handle the initial acidity of lemons, but as I understand, after digestion, it actually turns alkaline and can clear up acidity and inflammation in the body. So turns out drinking enough lemon water during the day is all I need.

I saw your message on Earth clinic regarding the treatment of Herpes. I have ocular herpes and my daughter of 3 years caught it as well. I hope Cimetidine works for us when we use it as she is always in pain.

Where did you find the food grade peroxide? Will you give me the link and help me too? Please

Would you give me more information on how exactly you beat it and what you did?

How do I use the peroxide. Do I drink it or bath in it…please help me please
